I am helping to salvage a junkyard find -- 1972 Bay bus with a type 4 engine. Previous owner has installed a single, center mounted, Weber 2bbl mainfold and carb. Carb is oriented with linkage on drivers side of vehicle. Stock accelerator cable passes through engine tin approx 10" to drivers...

I have a strange '77 Type 2 Microbus. My daughter would tell you that it is very strange, but for different reasons. :-) It was built and sold in Germany, so some <most> of the parts don't follow the same lines as '77 microbus' sold here in the US. I have already asked some questions on here...

Hi, I killed my battery this weekend by overcharging it. Trying to find a new one. Who can recommend a good one? I am looking for one with about 105 minutes RC. I think it must be a group size 42 that fits in. Is this right? Thanks,

I'm trying to replace the cables that work the heat levers in my '74 beetle sedan, as one of them snapped recently. However, I can't get the new cables through the tubes. The tubes are bent close to where the cables are supposed to exit and I'm pretty sure that's where they're getting hung up. I...

I've been looking for a second project to work on along with my running/driving '64 Bug. I found what I thought might be a good candidate for a complete body off resto project but the car has sat for a long time and the lower corners of the windshield have rust. The driver side rusted through and...

I live in So Cal and noticed recently a early Porsche (mid '50s model I estimate) on the street which has now three parking tickets on it for expired registration. I left a note on the car earlier this week that I would be interested in buying the car, assuming that the owner must have lost...

I ran across a very good base for a project bus. Seattle area. If interested, I'll get more info. Half-assed interested myself. Will need complete reworking but pretty much no rust and what body damage there is, is minor. Pop top. Has not been run for somewhere about 7 years. -Bah

Hello!! I have owned my 1970 Panel Bus for 6 years and finally just recently installed a Porsche 912 Tachometer. I was amazed at the RPM I had been driving my Bus at. My speedometer doesnt work right and I haven't changed the cable, but it would be off anyways I figure because my bus is wearing...

Hi, I having a bit of a problem with the air filter in my 1500cc 1968 Type 1 (duel air inlet type). As I understand it normally you can just pop the top off the air filter and check the level of oil in the filter. But after putting my engine back in I don't seem to have enough clearance between...

I drive a 626, 1993 LX. I am having problems when I try to put the car into 1st gear. It just started today. Every other gear is smooth. It isn't slipping out of gear but I have to push to move it to 1st. Any ideas from anyone?

I recently picked up another Beetle to add to the stable; this time, a beautiful '65. Here's the plan: I want to make it into a great German Looker. Here are the questions: 1) what is the largest tire/wheel combo that I can run without rubbing the fenders? I can get the front beam narrowed,...

In the bigger bore and stroke engines such as 2000+, 2100+, etc. what type of distributor advance is needed(type 1 engines)? The 009 seems to be the "fix-all" however the original 1600's had so many variation of the timing curve that it only makes sense that larger size engines would have their own...

another kitcar, a Kelmark - you know, the Dino Ferrari replicar and it has *sob*, a ah, *whimper* Rabbit engine! A waterhead! But I'll make it right. Honest! So what's the program? Drain the water and run it 'till it melts. Right?
